0508 - Halachik Matters at Farbrengen Part 3 - Size of Yarmulke

00:01 There's another thing that the Rebbe said by Fabrenge, which is in Geyla Halacha. But this time, the tone, the way the Rebbe said it, seemed like the Rebbe said it should be a certain way, and that is concerning the size of a Yarmulke. Rebbe spoke about this Motze Shabbos Parashat Hazriah Metzorah Tov Shin Lamet Tes. And the Rebbe said that concerning the covering of the head by a man, concerning the Yarmulke, for sure doesn't have to cover the whole head. It's not like the covering of the head of a woman that has to cover the whole head so no hair sticks out, but by a man it doesn't have to be that way. And he said it's enough if it covers the robe of the head. And he mentioned that there is a shakla v'tarya what the size has to be, and he used the term that there are some who are mahader, used the word mahader, which means sarcastically that they have a Yarmulke which is etzba al etzba, the size of a finger by a finger. And you have to put pins in order to hold it to your head, it shouldn't fall off. That's what some do. And some do the whole robe of the head. And here it seemed clearly that the Rebbe's neiter, and from the tone of voice, the way he said it, that it should be covering the robe of the head and not like those who wear small, very tiny Yarmulkes that just cover a little bit

01:17 of the head and then you have to put pins that they don't fall off.
